1. Choose a group name and modify the navigator link i.e. personalise the name of your Inquiry under the heading Student Inquiries.
2. Decide what the purpose of Inquiry is. Think about what it is that you want to know about Globalisation. This may raise:
a question
an issue
a problem
an idea
a puzzlement
a wondering
You may be wanting to know lots of things, but for now you are trying to come up with one essential or rich question. You will also have some supporting questions.
As an example, Herbert, Gus and Lexus have asked the question "Does the globalisation of tattooing embrace other cultures or rip-off tradition?"
3. Record your essential question and wonderings on your wiki page.
4. Brainstorm what is you already know what will help you answer your essential question. I suggest you use Inspiration or a similar program for this. If you use Inspiration you can export this as a web page so you can include it with your other work. Your brainstorm will also help you identify keywords that will help you locate relevant information.
5. Brainstorm the different ways you could record your learning journey. You need to use the class wiki, but you could also have a blog, a glog or something else that you have discovered.
Try to not create something that is going to be difficult to maintain or that it is going to take you all term to work out how to use the tools. I recommend that you limit yourselves to using a wiki, blog and glog.
STOP - TEACHER CHECKPOINT
When you've decided what your essential question is and how to record your Inquiry, come and tell me so that I can give you the green light to charge forth with the next step. Remember that's two things I'm checking for so don't tell me your done if you're about to show me just one of them.
6. After I've checked your work, make any changes that I've suggested you're ready to start recording your learning journey.
8. Use the Mini Action Plan to plan out some of the more complicated ideas on the Big Picture Action Plan. Only do this when you need to. You may need to do more than one.
9. Record your learning as you go through your Big Action Plan.
10. Check the learning you have recorded. Does it make sense? Does it need to be organised? You might like to use one of these organisers.
11. Look at your Big Picture Action Plan. Have you done everything that you can? Look at the learning you have recorded and organised. Have you discovered what you wanted to find out? Do you need to try a new Big Picture Plan? Are you ready for the next step?
12. Congratulations! You have discovered what you wanted to find out. Now that you know what you know, what are you going to do with it? How will you share what you know with other people?
